amended final results or, if there is no 

public announcement, within five days 

of the date of publication of the notice 

of amended final results in the Federal 

Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

Commerce shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

amended final results of this review. 

For the GHC and Jilin Bright, 

Commerce will calculate importerspecific assessment rates for 

antidumping duties, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). For entries that 

were not reported in the U.S. sales 

database submitted by the exporter 

individually examined during this 

review, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

liquidate such entries at the China-wide 

rate.13 For the respondents that were not 

selected for individual examination in 

this administrative review but qualified 

for a separate rate, the per unit 

assessment rate will be the rate 

established for these companies in these 

amended final results of review. 

For the six companies identified in 

the appendix to this notice as part of the 

China-wide entity, we will instruct CBP 

to apply the China-wide per-unit 

assessment rate to all entries of subject 

merchandise made during the POR 

which were exported by those 

companies. 

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

Upon publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register the following cash 

deposit requirements will be effective 

for all shipments of the subject 

merchandise from China entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) 

of the Act: (1) the amended cash deposit 

rate for GHC and Jilin Bright and the 

other companies not individually 

examined in this review will be equal to 

the weighted-average dumping margin 

that is established in the amended final 

results of this review, except if the rate 

is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, 

de minimis within the meaning of 19 

CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the 

cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for 

previously investigated or reviewed 

Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not 

listed above or in Appendix I that 

received a separate rate in a prior 

segment of this proceeding, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

existing exporter-specific rate published 

for the most recently completed segment 

of this proceeding; (3) for all Chinese 

exporters of subject merchandise that 

have not been found to be entitled to a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the rate for the China-wide entity 

(i.e., 2.42 USD/kg); and (4) for all nonChinese exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not received 

their own separate rate, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate applicable to the 

Chinese exporter that supplied that nonChinese exporter. These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of antidumping duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this review period. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice serves as the final 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of return/destruction of 

APO materials or conversion to judicial 

protective order is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with the regulations 

and the terms of an APO is a 

sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

amended final results of review in 

accordance with sections 751(h) and 

777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with section 751(a)(1) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), on 

November 7, 2024, Commerce disclosed 

its calculations to interested parties and 

provided interested parties with the 

opportunity to submit ministerial error 

comments.1 On November 12, 2024, 

OCP S.A. (OCP) submitted an allegation 

of a ministerial errors in the Final 

Results.2 On November 18, 2024, the 

Mosaic Company submitted rebuttal 

comments in response to OCP’s 

ministerial error allegations.3 On 

November 12, 2024, Commerce 

published its final results of 

administrative review.4

Legal Framework 

Section 751(h) of the Act, defines a 

‘‘ministerial error’’ as including ‘‘errors 

in addition, subtraction, or other 

arithmetic function, clerical errors 

resulting from inaccurate copying, 

duplication, or the like, and any other 

unintentional error which the 

administering authority considers 

ministerial.’’ With respect to final 

results of administrative reviews, 19 

CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce 

‘‘will analyze any comments received 

and, if appropriate, correct any 

ministerial error by amending . . . the 

final results of review . . .’’ 

Ministerial Error 

Commerce has determined that one of 

the two errors alleged by OCP 

constitutes a ministerial error within the 

meaning of section 751(h) of the Act and 

19 CFR 351.224(f). In its ministerial 

error allegations, OCP alleges that, with 

regard to the provision of phosphate 

mining rights for less than adequate 

remuneration (LTAR) program, 

Commerce: (1) did not include OCP’s 

allocated debt costs in OCP’s total cost 

of production when calculating OCP’s 

profit for phosphate rock; and (2) should 

have calculated a simple average of two 

datasets provided by different parties for 

a third-market country from the same 

business proprietary data source, as 

Commerce did with two datasets 

provided from the same business 

proprietary data source for another 

third-market country.5

For the calculation of the simple 

average of two datasets, we disagree 

with OCP and find that not averaging 

the datasets was a methodological 

decision and not a ministerial error. 

However, Commerce agrees that, in the 

Final Results, we did not include the 

allocated cost of OCP’s debt in OCP’s 

total cost of production when 

calculating OCP’s profit to determine 

the price OCP paid for phosphate rock 

in the provision of phosphate mining 

rights for LTAR program as we 

intended. Commerce determines that 

this constitutes a ministerial error in the 

Final Results pursuant to section 751(h) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f) and is 

amending the Final Results with respect 

to the phosphate mining rights for LTAR 

benefit calculation to correct the 

ministerial error in the calculation of 

the ad valorem subsidy rate. The revised 

net subsidy rate is provided below. 

For a complete discussion of the 

ministerial error allegations, as well as 

Commerce’s analysis, see the 

accompanying Ministerial Error 

Memorandum.6 The Ministerial Error 

Memorandum is a public document and 

is on file electronically via Enforcement 

and Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov. 

Amended Final Results 

As a result of correcting the 

ministerial error, we determine that the 

countervailable subsidy rate for the 

producer/exporter under review to be as 

follows: 

Company 

Subsidy rate 

(percent 

ad valorem) 

OCP S.A.7 ............................ 16.60 

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose to parties in 

this proceeding, under administrative 

protective order, the calculations 

performed for these amended final 

results within five days after publication 

of this notice in the Federal Register, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), 

Commerce has determined, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, countervailing duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

amended final results of this review, for 

the above-listed company at the 

applicable ad valorem assessment rate. 

We intend to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after the date of publication of the 

amended final results of this review in 

the Federal Register. However, OCP has 

filed a summons at the U.S. Court of 

International Trade challenging the 

Final Results. Therefore, our assessment 

instructions will direct CBP not to 

liquidate relevant entries until the time 

for parties to file a request for a statutory 

injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 

days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

In accordance with section 751(a)(1) 

of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct 

CBP to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties in the 

amount shown for OCP on shipments of 

the subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse for 

consumption, on or after the date of 

publication of the amended final results 

of this administrative review. The cash 

deposit requirement, effective upon the 

publication of the amended final results 

of this review, shall remain in effect 

until further notice. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to an APO of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 

Timely written notification of the 

return/destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(h) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.224(e).

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) finds that 

revocation of the countervailing duty 

(CVD) order on circular welded carbon 

quality steel line pipe (welded line 

pipe) from the People’s Republic of 

China (China) would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 23, 2009, Commerce 

published the Order on welded line 

pipe from China.1 On June 9, 2016, 

Commerce implemented its revised 

countervailable subsidy rates pursuant 

to the findings in the section 129 

proceeding of the Uruguay Round 

Agreements Act.2 On September 3, 

2024, Commerce published the notice of 

initiation of the third sunset review of 

the Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act).3 On September 17, 2024, 

Commerce received a notice of intent to 

participate from the American Line Pipe 

Producers Association Welded Line 

Pipe Committee 4 (the domestic 

interested party), within the deadline 

specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).5

The domestic interested party claimed 

interested party status under section 

771(9)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.102(b)(29)(viii) as an association 

whose members are domestic producers 

of the domestic like product. 

On October 3, 2024, Commerce 

received an adequate substantive 

response from the domestic interested 

party within the 30-day deadline 

specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).6

Commerce did not receive a substantive 

response from any government or 

respondent interested party to this 

proceeding. On October 31, 2024, 

Commerce notified the U.S. 

International Trade Commission that it 

did not receive an adequate substantive 

response from respondent interested 

parties.7 As a result, Commerce 

conducted an expedited (120-day) 

sunset review of the Order, pursuant to 

section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B)(2) and (C)(2). 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

Order is welded line pipe from China. 

For a complete description of the scope 

of the Order, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.8

Analysis of Comments Received 

A complete discussion of all issues 

raised in this sunset review, including 

the likelihood of continuation or 

recurrence of subsidization and the 

countervailable subsidy rates likely to 

prevail if the Order were to be revoked, 

is provided in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. A list of the topics 

discussed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is attached as an 

appendix to this notice. The Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically

Final Results of Sunset Review 

Pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752(b) 

of the Act, we determine that revocation 

of the Order would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of 

countervailable subsidies at the 

following net countervailable subsidy 

rates:
